The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Wen Xiumei sighed: "If you have this idea, Lao Yi, don't rush, let me explain."

Yi Zhonghai replied, "Well, I'm not in a hurry. Tell me what you think."

Wen Xiumei got up and leaned against the wall, pulling the blanket up a bit, and said, "Dongxu, you know that child well. If it weren't for Old Jia's dying wish, you wouldn't have taken him as your apprentice."

His child is a good child, but he lacks assertiveness.

His burden will be even heavier in the future. After having a baby, will he not have any more children?

I heard from Jia Zhangshi that she wanted Qin Huairu to continue having children so that Banggeng could have more brothers.

She needs at least two younger brothers, otherwise she feels that Bang Geng will have no brothers to help him in the future.

Dongxu is a good kid, that's true, but he's not very quick to understand things, and he'll be under a lot of pressure in the future. Do you think that if we put all our hopes on him and something goes wrong, he might not be able to take care of us in the future?

Look at what Dalinzi is like at sixteen. Among the younger generation in our department, I doubt any of them will be as successful as Dalinzi in the future.

Look at Ma San, who hangs out with him, he's a good kid too.

He's only a teenager?

Even if he was fifteen, he dared to fight Yan Jiecheng, who was over twenty, just to protect Xiaoning.

Although we never fought, this kid has a good heart.

I've heard that his older brother and sister-in-law don't care about him anymore, and his parents passed away long ago. He now treats Dalinzi like his own brother.

He treats Qi Yulan like his own mother and Xiao Ning like his own sister, and even buys Xiao Ning things to eat.

I heard that he gives all the money he earns every day to Qi Yulan for safekeeping.

Why don't we ask Ma San about this kid?

How is it?

We now have more options and a backup candidate.

He has no parents or children. Take him in as your apprentice, and in a year or two, get him into the factory.

If you teach them properly, they're no better than Dongxu.

"If we treat him well, won't he treat us like his own parents?"

Wen Xiumei's suggestion is excellent. Yi Zhonghai had previously only lamented missing out on Yang Dalin, a promising stock.

Ma San was overlooked.

This child seems to be a grateful and good kid.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Hey, you know what, I almost missed this kid. Now that you mention it, I think this kid is alright."

We can build another road if we want.

Tomorrow night, prepare two more dishes. I'll invite Dalinzi and Ma San over for dinner and tell them that the child was wronged tonight.

Then let's probe and see if there's an opportunity.

It was impossible to keep it from Dalinzi, so I called both of them over.

If feasible, Dongxu and Ma San can retire together in the future, which will reduce Dongxu's pressure and make things more secure.

That kid has quite a temper; he even pulled out a knife last time.

Wen Xiumei continued, "You only heard that he pulled himself out with a knife, which proves that he didn't steal other people's grain. He didn't stab anyone else. Have you ever heard of him stabbing someone with a knife?"

That child was forced into it that day; he got desperate.

You've been doing well lately, haven't you, kid?

Double insurance, how great! I'll call them over tomorrow, using the excuse that you wronged that child tonight, and invite them over for dinner.

Yi Zhonghai thought it made sense. Teenagers who aren't properly taught are bound to make mistakes, which is understandable as long as they're not bad at heart. So Yi Zhonghai agreed.

Yang Dalin was unaware that his actions tonight had given Yi Zhonghai and his wife a new idea.

Because he was so outstanding, Yi Zhonghai looked down on Jia Dongxu.

The Yi Zhonghai couple had the idea of ​​hiring a caregiver.

.........

On the other side, Yang Dalin returned home and checked Ma San's face; there were no handprints.

Yan Jiecheng wasn't very strong, and Ma San's face wasn't badly injured.

He himself didn't think it was a big deal; he had been in many fights when he was struggling to get enough to eat and wear.

A ruthless person who dares to cut their own stomach with a knife, what's the big deal about getting slapped a couple of times?

However, Yang Dalin was afraid that the kid would be too angry and might find another opportunity to stab Yan Jiecheng.

Yang Dalin asked Ma San, who had returned first, "San'er, are you alright? I've avenged you. Are you satisfied? If not, we'll put Yan Jiecheng's sack on it again later."

To everyone's surprise, Ma San said without any concern, "It's okay, brother. Look, there's nothing wrong with my face." Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to exert any force.

Besides, you slapped him so many times and even pulled out a gun, so how could I still be angry?

As long as Xiaoning isn't being bullied, that's all that matters.

Yang Dalin was relieved to see that he was really alright.

Yang Dalin then looked at Qi Xiaoning.

Qi Xiaoning doesn't seem to be in any major trouble.

Yang Dalin asked her, "Xiaoning, are you calmed down? If not, I'll continue beating up the Yan brothers tomorrow."

Seeing that Yang Dalin had given Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang a good beating today and even pulled out a gun, while Qi Xiaoning hadn't been hit herself, she felt no resentment whatsoever.

"Brother, I'm fine. I can take on the second and third sons of the Yan family by myself. If Yan Jiecheng hadn't come out, they would have been useless."

"I didn't learn martial arts for nothing."

Qi Yanhua hugged her younger sister and said, "I went to buy soy sauce at that time, otherwise the two of us sisters would have beaten them together. You can't beat Yan Jiecheng, but I can beat him up."

It seems that learning martial arts recently has given these two sisters a lot of confidence.

Yan Jiecheng was four years older than Qi Yanhua, but his family was always hungry, while the Qi family was well-fed, and Qi Yanhua had also learned martial arts.

If you beat up Yan Jiecheng, who is starving, he might actually turn out to be a real threat.

Unfortunately, when Aunt Qi heard that her two daughters had learned martial arts, she wanted to find someone to fight again.

He stretched out his hand and slapped each of the two sisters on the back of the head: "So you learn martial arts just to fight?"

Can't girls be more quiet and reserved?

If anything happens in the future, go home and call me first. If I'm not home, then wait until I get back before we talk.

Don't just start fighting all the time.

"You two are girls. If you dare to fight again, believe me, I won't let you learn martial arts anymore."

Yang Dalin quickly stopped the angry Aunt Qi: "Aunt, don't be angry."

I think today was pretty good. Xiaoning got into a fight, so at least the kids in the yard won't dare to bully her anymore.

But if any of them get bullied again in the future, I'll take care of it when I get back.

Aunt Qi slapped Yang Dalin on the back again: "I haven't even said anything to you yet, why did you pull out a gun?"

If you fire, it will be a very serious matter.

Yang Dalin wasn't angry at all after being hit; Aunt Qi treated him like her own son.

Yang Dalin pulled over Ma San, who was watching the commotion, and said, "Auntie, treat everyone equally, Ma San, you can hit him too."

Please don't discriminate.

Aunt Qi lightly slapped Ma San and then laughed in exasperation; Ma San was quite pleased to have been slapped.

If I hadn't been hit, I would have felt that Aunt Qi was being distant; but if I had been hit, I would have felt a sense of warmth.

It doesn't hurt, which shows that the Qi family, and Brother Yang Dalin, treat me like family.

When everyone saw Qi Yulan, who had been angry, smile, they knew that the matter was not serious.
